For other countries Please check and add or subtract from this for your Local time. Every morning i am planning to give the timings (India timings) of Star and the Thithi of the day based on the Arcot Panchangam. WHY ONE SHOULD READ THIS DAILY? This will be useful for naming the children born and for doing the rituals at proper time for persons who pass away from us. Also by knowing the THAMIZH MONTH and STAR and THITHI you will have an idea when the festivals of your chosen deity and Guru PoosaigaL are celebrated and why such names have come for those festivals. You will learn more about these type of Hindu festival names and Guru PoojaigaL based on the Tamizh Month, Star like Thai poosam, Maasi Magam, Vaigaasi Visaagam etc or Thithi like Sri Rama navami or Vinayaga Chathurthi etc in the months to come. Though all days are Lords days it is better to do the specific prayers on specific days just like how we celebrate our birthday and wedding day on the actual days. Please read this post daily for better understanding of our festivals. Rituals are formulated by our Ancestors to understand and realize the Creator through his Creations. Even if you donot follow them all the time, it is better to learn them to teach our children and the generations to come. If you cannot celebrate Festivals in an elaborate way, a simple DAILY prayer with devotion will do. Remember Rituals are JUST steps to take you higher in the ladder of Spirituality to realize the Lord. Hope this will be useful to all. But anyhow it is A MUST TO CONSULT YOUR PERSONAL PRIEST/TEMPLE (for Prayer and Festival updates) OR ASTROLOGER as he will know which Panchangam/Almanac your family is following when you are taking major decisions. Mine is only just a daily guidance FROM INDIA.
